Spiritual Stirrings

Silly they say the best way

To be slapped, happily

I yield my balance

To the Chair.

The sign I’m looking up at 

I’ma do like it say

I’ma report myself as

Storm drain pollution.

For once, I’ma do what I ‘pose to.

And so they I mean like

I hope they gonna slap me silly.

I know, right?

So yeah whatever but no

It all none of it makes any sense.

He Begged the Bot for an Earlier Appointment

The late husband-to-be

Tried to apply 

For a customizable experience.

Without a credit score.

Doesn’t eat red meat.

Never really cared for pork.

Or pork products.

Bot told him, it said

Our customer care team

Will get back to you in 72 hours.

He died that night 

Reformed Baptist and a vegan.

Bap Bap Bap 

Is this thing even on?

Dog Story

Autumn’s doodle, a red one,

Named Whiskey,

Getting a groom at the pet salon.

I asked if it was a rescue. 

She got offended.

Did you really just call her “it”?

Hey I said

A leash is a two-way street.

I remember the day Tubby went missing,

Which was exactly forty days after 

The Orthodox church commemorated

Jesus Christ rising from the dead,

Jesus Christ hisownself however 

Not being a partier per se,

Actually, he was fiercely private, and to be honest

Not a good fit for the position of Savior.

That being said, management certainly failed to  

Provide the training and tools he needed to succeed.

Your Stars Are Expiring Soon

OK, that now

I don’t know

I have no idea

Is that even possible

It might kind of be

Technically no 

But yes

Being the fact that 

You can’t like

Oh I guess

But here’s the thing

Eventually

I was gonna say

I just feel like dang

And I’m pretty sure like

I imagine there comes a point

Oh yes no

It’s actually better

Or maybe like I said

Part of me thinks OK

I also think like

Hey listen

It seems to me

Of course I don’t know.

Just to kind of like

Which is nice like

No but the thing is like

That’s what I’m saying like

Between the lines there’s no ink

Some sign in

Some choose to

Continue as guest

I half thought about 

Just driving up there

We’re all in this together

In the time we have left

Thing is is even that too

It’s so long of a drive

When seen through the wrong way mirror

I feel like too though

Tragic heroes are sort of non-grata

The good news is

Refer a friend is back

So um I um I kind of told myself I said

Reach, twist, squat, breathe

Wait wait wait

Where’s my phone

Yes

Speaking of Unwinding

I looked at her and I said

Pudding from scratch?

She’s like

Do you admit you are a sinner?

Now hiring.

E-sign here.

Have a safe trip I say, exiting

Through what’s not even a door.

I.

The one guy

He texted me

He wants me

Of all people 

To design organic 

Soundstage solutions that

Transcend boundaries

And rebrand the

Onboarding experience

Make it green, convenient, easy

Launch Next Gen streetwear lines

Turn Next Gen heads

Ensure second strike capability

And I’m like

Yeah yeah for sure

So that’s next Thursday

II.

I know you’re just asking

I’m just sayin

It’s the overcoming

That’s the whole thing

Paths matter

Meet, complete, submit and show 

Thanks to a couple of buff new 

Hyper quick 

Super unique 

High speed 

Ultra premium 

Fiber optic bars

I flashed on 

Luxe power 

Asset protection

Bundled content

Wealth management

Long term growth 

III.

If fast reliable coverage is your destination

A beautiful and moving idea

Don’t venerate, platform

All aboard please

Stay engaged

Dream bigger

Kick it up to boogie level four

Use those handrails

When boarding the train

Flagship features like

Baked-in hallucinations

Stee

Birthed themselves in my brain

When waves are fierce and breaking hard

Not half bad is not success

Only means you’ve got an untied shoe

If you want to get the ray gun

They’re still expensive

But they hold their value 

Just don’t point the muzzle at something you don’t want to kill

Please watch your step

Safety is everyone’s concern

Stand clear, doors are closing

Who knows where this bitch gonna end up
